Why ubuntu linux is the most used distro?

By Clarence Walter


Most people enjoy ubuntu linux, many others do not, the fact is that linux ubuntu is the emperor of distributions at the present time ( space ) and for various very excellent reasons. I will make an effort to identify those reasons that made ubuntu linux the most favorite distros and explain why its success was "inevitable".

1 Straightforward installation: From the text-based installer of the first editions, to the click&ready installer of nowadays, ubuntu linux always had a pretty straightforward and simple installation. Every action of the installer was explained in a short, yet clear manner that created it easy for everyone to follow the steps of the installing procedure no matter their knowledge with computer systems.

2 Functionality Many distributionss are built upon the potent Debian Linux distribution, with its several software packages. However, ubuntu linux is far more cutting edge than other Linux distributions as it very quickly adopts newer innovations. It has a very attractive GUI. The desktop computer is eye-catching. ubuntu linux is also simple to use due to the fact of its awry similarity to Microsoft windows Vista. ubuntu is suitable of performing numerous of the same things that Windows 7 is capable to do. These capabilities can include video editing,word processing, spreadsheet, calculating,, and many more.

3 Reliability Stability is a really huge concern for the large majority of Linux systems. Because of the liberty that Linux provides to its users, Linux is not the most stable operating system. Users may simply alter the source code on a linux OS and that could trigger irreparable damage to the operating system and that might cause a loss of files. ubuntu linux, however, is a really reliable os compared to others linux distros or windows systems simply because it supplies a risk-free system recovery process. If the user by accident creates harm to his or her personal computer, they can easily reverse the earlier procedure and recuperate their data files

4 Neutrality linux ubuntu is a self-sustaining non-profit organization. Canonical does give commercial help support, but they don't wasted the 10 million that Mark put into the linux ubuntu organization. Aspects that have a immediate business convenience for Canonical are held split and are not integrated in the principal Linux distributions. What they include to ubuntu linux is continuously open source and competitors are totally free and encouraged to pick it up. (and usually they do)

5 People marketing ubuntu is primarily based heavily on the marketing it receives from the customers. Nearly everyone who utilizes linux ubuntu today has beed recommended to test it by someone else who had tried it before them and so on. This, combined with the strong effect of ubuntu to the web boards related to ubuntu, has guided to a major increase in it's usage .

6 ubuntu community forums The ubuntu linux online community was, and still is one of the most significant aspects that promote the development of ubuntu linux. The community forums are very active and old users are very friendly and tolerant towards beginners. Maybe it has to do with the actual philosophy of "ubuntu linux"...

7 Synaptic If you ask to a new ubuntu user to tell you what fascinated them, most possibilities are that the response will be "synaptic". Indeed, this application moved APT much closer to the common user and made program installing in Linux a lot less difficult. Users did not have to search for DEBs or be concerned that they might needed to deal with dependancies, compile from source etc, synaptic solved every thing making use of a very easy interface.
